  Fact sheet. Project: The role of Indigenous knowledge in environmental conservation and in climate change adaptation and mitigation in Tanzania

  Sokoine University of Agriculture, 2013

  Using indigenous knowledge (IK), communities in most parts of Tanzania have been able to conserve the environment and cope with the challenges of climate variability. Local environmental and astronomical indicators have been used to predict rainfall, and various local coping measures have been used to lessen the impacts of droughts and floods.

  Fact sheet. Project: Comparative study of incentive options for forest - based emissions reduction, biodiversity conservation and livelihood improvement; Case of Kilwa and Lindi Districts

  Sokoine University of Agriculture, 2013

  The project entails a comparative study on incentive options for forest-based emissions reduction, biodiversity conservation and livelihood improvement, comparing villages with REDD+/PFM (Participatory Forest Managment) and without REDD+/PFM and also comparing each set of villages over time.

  Fact sheet. Project: Developing a fire reduction strategy for Miombo Woodlands as a potential tool for carbon storage and sequestration

  Sokoine University of Agriculture, 2013

  Fire occurs in most parts of the Miombo woodlands and is used for a variety of purposes, including hunting and farming. However, fires can have significant negative ecological and socio-economic impacts such as a reduced water supply; decline in biodiversity and agriculture production; increased pollution of water sources; and reduced carbon sequestration.

  Fact sheet. Project: Climate Change, Non - Timber Forest Products and Livelihood of Forest Dependent Communities - Impacts, Vulnerability and Adaptation in Tanzania

  Sokoine University of Agriculture, 2013

  Over 20 million Tanzanians depend on Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) for their livelihood, but the extent to which NTFPs and community livelihoods are vulnerable to climate change is not well established. The coping strategies of these communities have not been fully documented either.

  Fact sheet. Project: Development of biomass estimation models for carbon monitoring in selected vegetation types of Tanzania

  2013

  The carbon benefits of any forest carbon project are estimated on the basis of changes of carbon stocks in different biomass pools and such changes may be determined through continuous forest inventories, possibly combined with growth estimates, and the use of models for biomass estimation, i.e. allometric biomass equations.

  Vulnerability assessment of important habitats for migratory species: Examples from Eastern Asia and Northern Australia.

  International Water Management Institute, 2006

  The impacts of Climate Change on biodiversity are already visible. Studies show clearly that changes in distribution and behaviour of a large number of species are the consequence of shifts in local or regional climate, weather patterns and resulting changes of vegetation and habitat quality.

  coping study on natural resources and climate change in Southeast Asia with a focus on agriculture. Final report.

  International Water Management Institute, 2009

  This scoping study was commissioned by Sida - Swedish Environment Secretariat for Asia (SENSA) to explore issues related to food security and environment in the context of climate change in the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS), in order to identify opportunities to develop the agriculture sector into a vehicle for ameliorating the negative effects of climate change and environmental degradation.
